Keller, Isabelle. "L'anamorphose dans l'oeuvre romanesque de Lawrence Durrell." Toulouse 2, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002TOU20059.
The study of anamorphosis in Lawrence Durrell's novels probes into The Alexandria Quartet and The Avignon Quintet in order to descry Durrell's complex literary work. The compared analysis of the handling of description in both novels evinces a deliberate blurring of space and characterization, which hint to a specific mode problematic as we move from The Quartet to The Quintet, shape out our reconstruction of the pattern. The reader in search of the corrected perspective consequently discovers both the vanity of a merely mimetic representation and the delusive nature of any definite and univocal reading. Durrell's work has to be read "between the lines, between the lives": those of The Quartet and The Quintet, as well as those of The Black Book, The Revolt of Aphrodite, An Irish Faustus or the poems. Durrell's writting is then born from these vanishing traces which keep spreading out, overlapping and migrating from one texte to the next, from one genre to another
Gkountis, Konstantinos. "Lawrence Durrell et la Grèce." Paris 12, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA120058.
This work consists of a brief description showing L. Durrell's relation with Greece. E start with his life and travels, locating through biography, critics and interviews the events that shaped his creation. We continue with Durrell's idea of how a place as a living entity transforms it's inhabitants. We speak about his relation with the island of Rhodes and the way that the myth of Dionysus worked in one of his books ; the clever use, by him, of the Minoan labyrinth and the Minotaur myth, in order to present the "labyrinths of a person's mind" as well as the way that landscape defines this person's fate. We touch his black quest for his personal liberation from England, from English musts and forms of writing. We see his "islo-mania" and how a place can conquer a person, or to say it overwise : "the colonization of a colonist". Through his "evangels", his poems, we become witnesses of the "revelationé of Durrell's art ; compared to some other Greek authors works they give us the same symbols and elements. At the end Durrell is on Cyprus, with a last hope to live and die on a Greek island. Like Aphrodite, Larry emerged from Cyprus shores as a confirmed author ; Greece was already a part of him, an open wound he had to carry "to the worlds end". This interaction between Durrell and Greece is enhanced and supplemented by unpublished interviews with people who knew him personally (i. E. His daughter Penelope). This interaction is also compared to other artists from different forms of art : literature in general, but also painting and cinema
Caplan-Philippe, Murielle. "La couleur dans l'oeuvre de Lawrence Durrell." Paris 3, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA030071.
The use of colour in Lawrence Durrell's novels and travel books highlights different aesthetic choices from earlier to later works, showing the ambivalence of Durrell's artistic positions. Colour appears to partake of a baroque anti-classical inspiration both because of over-inscription and because of optical illusion produced by reflections and mirages. The result very often suggests a blurred picture, which it is impossible either to "read" or even "see". However, the tendency to use names of things as colour-words may turn the blurred picture into a seemingly tactile representation. Colour within the text thus provides a way of grasping what, by definition, eludes language, i. E. The visual, by recreating a three-dimensional image, an image that one might "see", "read", and "touch"
Allart, Claude. "Le Quatuor d'Alexandrie de Lawrence Durrell : système d'écriture et méthode comparatiste." Paris 10, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA100043.
The present work is an attempt to bridge two lacunae. The first concerns the strange absence of fundamental literary criticism of the Alexandria quartet, in spite of the great and world-wide success of this assemblage. The complexities of Durrell's construct lead to obvious difficulties in reading. Yet the assemblage resulting from this construct assumes that any analysis will, before being undertaken, resolve the problem inherent in the very approach to the assemblage. The second concern comparative literature and its lack of precise methods for analyzing multiple novels. This deficiency is here remedied by a method : not a singular response to the difficulties specific to the subject under study not one that is in perpetual tension between what is to be proved and the means by which this is to be achieved, rather one that can exist outside of the objects for which it was designed. This method, called synesthesic analysis, stems from application to the literary research of two ideas (isomorphism and conceptual skeleton) derived from D. Hofstadter's work Gödel Escher Bach; and from the confrontation between this application and Durrel's system of writing
Dampierre-Noiray, Ève de. ""Une interrogation si vive adressée à l'Égypte" : transformations de l'Égypte du vingtième siècle dans les récits égyptiens et européens." Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040075.
This dissertation offers a comparative study of 20th century Egypt as seen through Egyptian and European narrative and fictional texts (Arabic, French, English and Italian). The first section presents political and literary issues connected with representations of Egypt in Western 20th century texts, arguing that political changes affecting the country, which were brought about by the end of colonialism and independence, also radically affect its representation in literature. The second section questions the idea of modernity through a close study of literary texts : it presents different stages of the Egypt’s history between the twenties and the seventies in order to show how the emergence of modernity and its subjective perceptions are translated into narrative and poetic texts. Lastly, after having defined the specific literary field resulting from residence writing, the third section is devoted to a study of the poetics of these different works, aiming not only to shed light on certain figures and structures of these fictions, but also to show how this poetical treatment comes to represent a radical change in Egypt’s image and can be seen as an enactment of this transformation
دراسة مقارنةيقدم هذا البحث دراسة مقارنة لمصر القرن العشرين خلال الكتابات الأدبية والروائية في كل من اللغات العربية والفرنسية والإنجليزية والإيطالية. يقدم الجزء الأول المواضيع السياسية والأدبية المتصلة بالتعبير عن مصر في النصوص الغربية بالقرن العشرين، والدلالة على أن التغيرات السياسية المؤثرة على الدولة نتيجة نهاية الاستعمار إلى الاستقلال، أثرت أيضا بصورة واضحة على تلك الكتابات الأدبية. يبحث الجزء الثاني فكرة التجديد والمعاصرة خلال دراسة مدققة للنصوص الأدبية في فترات مختلفة من تاريخ مصر بين العشرينات والسبعينات وذلك للدلالة على كيفية تأثير المعاصرة بنظرتها الموضوعية والذاتية على النصوص الأدبية والشعرية. أخيرا بعد تحديد خصوصية التعبير الأدبي الناتج عن (كتابة المقيمين)، يقدم هذا الجزء دراسة في شاعرية هذه الكتابات المتنوعة، ليس فقط لإلقاء الضوء على بعض الأسماء والبناء الروائي، ولكن لإظهار كيف أن هذه المعالجة الأدبية والشعرية تمثل تغيرا جوهريا في التعبير عن صورة مصر
Rascle, Floriane. "Écritures dramatiques et romanesques des XXe et XXIe siècles à l’épreuve des arts non verbaux. Modèles et dispositifs." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCA110.
The observation of the presence of non verbal arts within the works of Marguerite Duras, Lawrence Durrell, Elfriede Jelinek and Péter Nádas leads us to examine the musicality and the iconicity of contemporary dramatic and novelistic writings in terms of model, pattern and devices. Dialogue, hybridization, polyphony, dialogism, intermediality, and what Jacques Rancière calls “impurification” within the “Aesthetic Regime of Art”, display the dreams, desires and longings of verbal art for other arts, but also for representations whose artistic content is arguable. The fact that contemporary writings produce an organic, sexual, erotic, even pornographic body invites us to focus on the interactions between arts and non-arts with regard to their performative devices and to propose a queer reading of the works. In Postmodernism, the fact that writings draw on non verbal forms can be understood as the expression of the failure of Logos – both language and reason – and of representation. Moreover, what is also at stake is an aesthetic and political reform of literature. Whether they tend to impose new verbal models or break into them, non verbal arts contribute not only to reshape literary forms but also to emphasize their political substance and renew their fictional content. This dissertation aims to investigate the crossroads between aesthetics and politics that the various relationships between verbal and non-verbal arts display, from mid-20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, within Literature, the verbal art par excellence
